Usage notes
- Use 'pronto' for readiness in actions, not objects. 'La cena è pronta' (dinner is ready), not 'il tavolo è pronto'.
- Avoid confusing with 'preparato'—'pronto' implies immediate action, 'preparato' just means prepared in advance.
- No agreement needed when used as an adverb (e.g., 'Sono pronto a partire'). Agree in gender/number as an adjective.
